inspired ideas for spring

Just in time for your spring crafting spree, my super-talented friend Amy Powers has published the gorgeous new spring issue of her Inspired Ideas ezine. You can buy your own 87-page issue here, available for download on either your computer or your iPad. (You can purchase a print version, too.) Below are some sample pages.






There are lots of fresh and ingenious crafting ideas offered in this new spring issue. There's also a helpful calendar listing of the many crafting events coming up around the country.


And, although I'm usually providing support behind the scenes, Amy invited me to add a "spring garden doodle" to this issue just for you. Let yourself feel like a kid again with a new page to color! Would you like to be queen of your garden with a crown, a spring banner, and a watering can among the flowers? You can print out the doodled page from the ezine to any size you like and then add markers or watercolor or your favorite medium. I hope it puts you or your child in the mood to capture the beautiful colors of spring.
